I call BS!

[lead_magnet]

Okay, I've had about enough. Ban me if you wan't, I'll use the time I spent here for a better purpose.

There have been a few threads started (Cop shooting the guy in a wheelchair) that have been cut off short because they are directed at the blatantly inappropriate actions of a LEO.

Now don't get me wrong, for the "average" senario that could be looked at either way, I tend to side with the cop until I find out more. Also, I would like it made obvious that I am aware the the owner of this forum is a LEO. I am too, and that doesn't grant one to a position of automatic rightousness! That is a BS reason to always side with the cop. To be quite frank, a cop's job is to not always side with the cop! We are supposed to side with the TRUTH!

Shooting a one armed, one legged man in a wheelchair because he has you "cornered" is total bullshit! If the cop kicked him over in his wheelchair, fine, if he Tasered him, or OC'd him, fine, even if he punched him in the face, fine. But this cop KILLED a MAN out of fear for his personal saftey? The 21 foot drill doesn't really cut it with a man in a wheelchair.

Thsi forum chose to shut down the thread because it was going south, why? The forum members were upset? They have every right to be upset! I'm tired of seeing them shut down when they have a vaild point. Any cop should be ashamed of him/herself for supporting this unnesseary censorship.

I know I'm getting the boot, and I'm glad for it. Grow a fucking pair COAR-15!

I agree with you 100%.

I understand where you're coming from; it seems that very little criticism (justified or otherwise) of any LEO/LEA gets by here. However, it is a privately "owned" forum and as such even though it is open to the public its content and our participation is at the discretion of the mods.

Doesn't mean I necessarily agree with how they do it, but (I believe) that's the way it is. All things considered, they let a lot of things go that others (ARFCOM, anyone?) would shut down and ban you for a lot sooner. The "A word to rioting muslims" thread is a good example...

take the good with the bad . you can pretty much say what you want here .so what if you cant cop bash or go off on a racist tangent (justified or not ) .aside from those 2 subjects your good . think about all the crap you cant say on other "gun" sites . this place is a cut above the rest even with the limitations (IMO)

Reminds me of a song by G&R named "Hair on the dog", let it go like others have said for the most part mods around here are way more laxed then a lot of other forums. And with you being LEO I would think that even in an outlandish case like the one you mentioned you would be excited to see an end to the "Cop Bashing" before it really took off. I would think that a bunch of people ragging on cops would make your life harder on a daily bases as well as kill your morale but that just my $0.2

It's the internet. Why do people let it get them all upset ?
Like it's been said it's privately owned-his house ,his rules.

I agree. I think "Cop Bashing" should never take place. You can certainly express your opinion and state that what one particular cop's actions are not what you agree with. Cops are dudes/dudettes just like everyone else. The owner of this forum clearly does not condone negativity toward law enforcement. You don't like it? GTFO then. The mods on here are as reasonable as I've seen anywhere.

I agree with lead_magnet 100% also.
